Huawei to unveil first smart car at shanghai auto show 2019

Huawei is facing a lot of issues right now, especially in the western countries with the on-going US-China trade war and the concerns related to the security of Huawei’s telecom equipment. But, the company is still surging ahead.

The company’s consumer electronics business witnessed massive growth in the previous year and Huawei is now dominating the Chinese smartphone market. Going forward, the company is eyeing to take on the automobiles market.

Huawei Technologies will unveil the Chinese tech giant’s first-ever smart automobiles, developed in tandem with Dongfeng Motor, at the upcoming 2019 Auto Shanghai which starts next week.

Huawei along with Wuhan-based Dongfeng penned a CNY3 billion (USD446 million) deal with local authorities in Xiangyang, central Hubei province, at the start of the month, to develop smart car, logistics and transportation cloud platforms as part of efforts to realize 5G-powered autonomous driving.
